Javascript Git client

Question

Is there a Javascript implementation of Git?

I'm wanting to use HTML5 to create a rich Javascript application and have the idea that I could use git to track changes to the data. So, I'm wondering if there is a javascript implementation of a git client, or maybe some way of controlling a git repository by making POST requests.

I guess it depends on what you need, but there's a few related projects out there.

The most "robust" implementation I can think of is this one by the 280North crew (of Cappuccino fame).

There's also some server-side JavaScript projects underway (e.g., http://github.com/ajaxorg/node-github), but that won't run entirely within a browser client.
